Chrome Will End XP Support in 2015; Firefox Has No Plans To Stop 257
Billly Gates writes "Microsoft is ending support for Windows XP in 2014. Fortunately for its users who want to keep browsing the web, Google is continuing to support Chrome until at least 2015. Firefox has no current plans to end support for XP. Hopefully this will delay the dreaded XPopacalypse — the idea that a major virus/worm/trojan will take down millions of systems that haven't been issued security patches. When these browsers finally do end XP support, does it mean webmasters will need to write seperate versions of CSS and JavaScript for older versions if the user base refuses to leave Windows XP (as happened with IE6)?"
Update: 10/29 17:31 GMT by S : Changed headline and summary to reflect that Mozilla doesn't have plans to drop XP support any time soon.

1. You're not supposed to read TFA, only TFS.
2. There is such a blatant contradiction between the two that it's actually funny.
3. But TFS has to be true... I just read it on Slashdot!

The funniest thing is that, because of the headline being in the address, you can put your mouse over
"Firefox plans to end support for XP"
and read
"mozilla-to-support-firefox-on-windows-xp-after-microsoft-ends-support-for-the-os".
We should have that feature on presidential speeches!
